This was so much fun to make–a box of 50 presents for my beloved sister-in-law’s milestone birthday. Ambitious, too. We weren’t sure we could actually make it to 50 gifts but we got there by adding my kids’ school pictures (gift #16) and homemade comics (#6 & 7) and little gifts like a pack of gum (#18). It can be done with a bit of ingenuity. And yes, I did fudge some numbers: a box of 20 birthday candles counted for presents #31-50. We set everything out on the floor and got busy wrapping with rainbow tissue paper and bright tape and numbering with stamps and shipping tags. Happy birthday, T!
So adorable – what a thoughtful gift idea!
Thank you, Kate. I’ll start organizing your 50th present but I have decades to do that. . .
I did this for my sister’s 50th–gum, pens, candles, the whole thing! But yours is extra beautiful–I do love colors and numbered shipping tags. What fun to get this box of goodies in the mail.
Of course you did . . . great minds think alike!
